When the room finally quieted down, the two's gazes suddenly met.
This kind of encounter caused both of them to avoid each other as if they had been burned, but their hearts were unable to calm down.
In order to alleviate the awkwardness, Bai Xiangxiu said: "That … Granny Sun is Widow Sun, what exactly happened?"
Actually, she had already guessed a few things, but in the end, she couldn't confirm it.
Long Heng didn't hide it from her, and told her about how he found out that she was the one who wanted to set her on fire. The reason was naturally because she wanted to replace her as Long Heng's new favorite.
Wah, this woman's imagination was too wild.
The dignified Prince wasn't someone who could be easily obtained by scheming. Wouldn't the women in the rear courtyard go crazy?
But to be honest, since ancient times, the women in the rear courtyard had only gone crazy over men.
They lived for men, and lived for men. Aside from this, there was no other reason for them to look forward to.
Was she really going to stay here?
Then she could only be the male lead's concubine. In the future, even if it wasn't the female lead who married into the family, there would be someone else. At that time, she would always be suppressed by the mistress of the household.
Reality wasn't a novel, and she wasn't the female lead of a novel.
Long Heng didn't tell her the cause of Sun Hong 'er's death, only that her parents found the body and came to the prince's estate to cause trouble without asking for the reason.
Lying through his teeth, did he really think that she didn't know anything?
Although Bai Xiangxiu was still a little uncertain about whether or not she should stay, she wasn't as distant as before now that she had a relationship with him.
"Prince, can the body you want to dispose of be found?
Moreover, Sun Hong 'er is a servant's child. How could her parents not know that she made a mistake and was punished by you, Prince? Isn't this a little strange? "
After analyzing, she raised her head and blinked at Long Heng, not hiding her curiosity at all.
However, Long Heng had always thought that she was a timid girl. He didn't expect her to be so clever.
No wonder the head steward had said good things about her in front of him. It seemed that he had underestimated her.
Since there was nothing else to do, he took off his shoes and sat on the bed. He looked at her, and Bai Xiangxiu almost thought that she had said something wrong.
Or perhaps, the men in ancient times didn't like to talk to their women about the matters in the rear courtyard?
Who would've thought that Long Heng would suddenly reach out his hand? His slender arm happened to be right in front of her eyes.
Pa ….
Her head was hit. It was painful and numb, but it was still bearable.
But all women loved to act coquettishly. So, she let out a coquettish cry and rubbed her head as she looked at Long Heng with an aggrieved expression.
Long Heng really thought that he'd played too hard. He hurriedly pulled her hand away to take a look. When he saw that it was only slightly red, he blew on it a few times.
"It Xiu Xiu Xiu...
Xiu Xiu't Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu.
Long Heng's heart was pounding, but it wasn't dark yet, and they hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Although the situation was urgent, he had to be patient.
"Could it be that someone wants to deal with you, Prince, so they're using this matter to slander your reputation?"
It was also written in the book, but it was not written in detail. It only said that although Long Heng had power and money, his reputation was not good.
The Emperor, on the other hand, seemed to favor and trust him very much, but he was slowly taking away his military power.
But the male lead was still the male lead. No matter how powerful the emperor was, he was still a supporting male lead. So his military power would be taken back for various reasons.
The Emperor couldn't offend him, so he could only play some tricks behind the scenes.
Naturally, there were people around the emperor who would help him.
"This King is afraid of their little tricks?
Before I returned to the capital, my reputation wasn't that good either. "
Rumors of cannibalism, raping and murdering women, torturing and killing civilians, and so on had reached his ears. If he couldn't even bear this little bit of pressure, how could he achieve great things?
Bai Xiangxiu playfully stretched out a finger and said, "How can that be? You're a man and don't care, but Old Madame doesn't think so.
Everyone wants their loved ones to be praised by others instead of being badmouthed everywhere. "
Although the male lead was the male lead, he was always at a disadvantage in terms of reputation.
For example, the female lead's misunderstanding of him in the beginning, and some of the ministers' isolation.
He could be considered as his closest comrade, so he had to think of a way to help him.
Long Heng's heart skipped a beat. Was she worried about him?
For some reason, his entire body felt warm. Even his eyes were filled with gentleness as he said, "Then tell me, what should we do?"
He was just asking casually. He didn't expect a woman who stayed at home to help him think of a solution.
Moreover, that would require her to use her brain. Her body was weak to begin with, so she only needed to take care of herself.
He didn't expect the other party to seriously think about it. Then, she suddenly smiled.
That smile contained a rare confidence, which made Long Heng's heart tremble.
Yes, her gentle and silent appearance made people feel that she was very sensible, but if she was always like this, she would be inflexible.
But at this time, she revealed such an expression. It made people feel that only the most recent people could see such a mischievous side. The real her actually had a kind of pride inside.
Long Heng felt this at this time. He almost flicked her again.
But that small mouth of hers began to speak. It sounded a little excited, making Long Heng feel that even if it didn't make any sense, he would still do as she said.
It was as if her words had some kind of magic.
"You also know Sun Hong 'er's style. You didn't explain to her family when you punished her this time, did you?"
She paused. In fact, she guessed that the male lead, who had a thunderous style, wouldn't explain anything to others.
What kind of general would look for a subordinate to explain the reason behind an order?
So, she directly said, "Prince, you can write down all of Sun Hong 'er's crimes and then post them up.
Let the witnesses and those who committed the same crime kneel there and admit their mistakes. Of course, you also have to hang her corpse up to prevent … … "She was blamed for the crime of stealing a corpse. This sentence was seen in her dream. She didn't know if it was real or not, so she almost said it out loud in her excitement.
Sun Hong 'er committed the crime of promiscuity in the prince's residence. As for the other crimes, it would depend on the results of the investigation.
But she didn't expect that after she finished speaking, the male lead would frown and look at her. When she felt her hair stand on end, he raised his hand.
"Don't … …"
Subconsciously, Bai Xiangxiu held her forehead and retreated to the side.
Actually, Long Heng just wanted to pat her head to encourage her. This idea wasn't bad. It was open and aboveboard, and no one could find any fault with it.
But he didn't expect the other side to jump away like a little rabbit. He couldn't help but feel his heart soften.
But just as he was about to speak, he saw a certain little girl sitting on the side, thinking about it with grievance. Then, she silently stretched her head over and carefully closed her eyes pitifully, saying, "You can hit me, but can you not hurt me?"
